For peptide isoelectric focusing (IEF) separation, the resulting peptide mixture (1.2mg in total) was resuspended in a buffer containing 6% glycerol and 1.2% ampholytes in the 3-10 pH linear OFFGEL buffer (7M Urea, 2M thiourea, 1% DTT w/v) (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). Sample volumes of 150 μl were loaded onto a commercially available 24-cm IPG strip with a linear 3-10 pH gradient (GE Healthcare) after rehydration of the gel for 20 min in a well of 40 μl rehydration solution. Cover fluid (mineral oil, Agilent Technologies) was applied to both ends of the gel strip. Electrofocusing of the peptides was performed at 20°C and 50 μA until 50 kVh were reached using an Agilent 3100 OFFGEL fractionator (Agilent Technologies) following the manufacturer instructions. Fractions were recovered, peptides extracted from each well with 2% TFA (v/v) and desalted by passing through a home-made column packed with Poros 50 R2 resin (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA). Peptides were eluted with 50% ACN (v/v) in 0.1% TFA (v/v) and the fractions were dried and reconstituted in 0.1% formic acid (v/v) just before LC-MS analysis.

Approximately 1,300 µg of the protein samples were diluted to a volume of 450 µL with lysis buffer (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 2% CHAPS, 13 mM DTT), followed by loading onto a 24-cm IPG strip (immobilized pH gradient) with a linear pH gradient of 4–7 (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). The strips were hydrated for 18 h at room temperature, and then subjected to IEF on an Ettan IPGphor isoelectric focusing system, following the instructions of the manufacturer (2-DE Manual, GE Healthcare), with some modifications as described previously22 (link). After IEF, the IPG strips were equilibrated first in an equilibration solution containing 1% DTT, followed by an equilibration solution with 4% iodoacetamide. The strips were then transferred to an Ettan Dalt system (GE Healthcare) to perform SDS-PAGE using 12.5% SDS polyacrylamide gels47 (link).
The gels were visualized via the GAP staining method48 (link) and scanned with ImageMaster Labscan V3.0 (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden), and image analysis was performed with the ImageMaster 2D Platinum software package (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). Spots that were present in all replicate gels, showing Student’s t test p-values <0.05 and a relative fold change of at least a 1.5 in their quantity, were further analyzed.

The purified protein sample (100 μg) from each patient was prepared in a 3.6-mL sample volume and fractionated by a 3100 OFFGEL fractionator (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 24-cm IPG strip (pH 3-10, GE Healthcare, Bio-Sciences) was fixed on a 24-well loading tray. The IPG strip was rehydrated with 40 μL of OFFGEL stock solution for 15 minutes. Then, 150 μL of sample volume was loaded into each well and run for a total power of 64 KVhr using a constant electric current of 50 μA. After focusing, the separated proteins in 24 fractions were purified with cold (−20°C) acetone at −20°C overnight and centrifuged at 12 000× g at 4°C for 10 minutes. The protein pellets were dissolved in a solution containing 8 M urea and 2 M thiourea and quantitated by Bradford assay.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isoelectric focusing was performed with a Bio-Rad Protean IEF cell using 24 cm IPG strips (pH 4.0–7.0; GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Six technical replicates were run for each biological sample (6x CML-T1 and 6x CML-T1/IR). The strips were rehydrated overnight, each in 450 μl of sample, representing 3.3 mg of protein. Isoelectric focusing was performed for 60 kVh, with the maximum voltage not exceeding 5 kV, the current limited to 50 mA/strip and the temperature set to 18°C. The focused strips were equilibrated and reduced in equilibration buffer A (6 M urea, 50 mM Tris pH 8.8, 30% glycerol, 2% SDS and 450 mg DTT/50 ml of the buffer) for 15 min and then alkylated in equilibration buffer B (6 M urea, 50 mM Tris pH 8.8, 30% glycerol, 2% SDS and 1.125 mg iodacetamide/50 ml). The equilibrated strips were then placed on the top of 10% PAGE gel and secured in place by molten agarose. Electrophoresis was performed in a Tris-glycine-SDS system using a Protean Plus Dodeca Cell apparatus (Bio-Rad, Inc.) with buffer circulation and external cooling (20°C). The twelve gels were run at a constant voltage of 200 V for 6 h. Following electrophoresis, the gels were washed three times for 15 min in deionized water to remove the SDS. The washed gels were stained in CCB (SimplyBlue SafeStain, Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) overnight, and then destained in deionized water.

2D DIGE was performed as described elsewhere.22 (link) Twenty micrograms of microsomal proteins from
dark-control or blue light-treated plants (pH 8.5) were mixed with
80 pmol of Cy3 or Cy5 dyes and incubated on ice for at least 2 h in
the dark. The labeling reaction was terminated by adding 0.5 μL
of 10 mM lysine. Cy3- and Cy5-labeled proteins were then combined
and used for isoelectric focusing (IEF). IEF was performed on 24 cm
IPG strips, pH 3–10 NL (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA).
The running conditions were as follows: rehydration for 2 h, 50 V
for 10 h, step and hold at 500 V and then 1000 V for 1 h each, gradient
to 8000 V over 3 h, and then at 8000 V until reaching a total of 56 000
V h. Second-dimension electrophoresis was performed using 10% SDS-polyacrylamide
gels. The electrophoresis was performed at 40 V for 2 h and then at
120 V until the bromophenol blue front reached the bottom of the gel.
Images of Cy3- and Cy5-labeled proteins were acquired using a Typhoon
Trio scanner (GE Healthcare). The estimated pH ranges following IEF
are indicated in Figures 24.

Sample preparation was performed at the middle stages of 2KGA production phase and the consumption phase. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (10,000 × g, 1 min, and 4 °C) and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. The whole-cell protein extraction was performed according to reference [30 (link)]. Proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). For isoelectric focusing, 1 mg of proteins were diluted in the immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strip rehydration buffer (450 μL). The protein solution was loaded on 24 cm IPG strips (GE Healthcare) that provided a linear gradient from pH 3 to 10, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Isoelectric focusing and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide electrophoresis were carried out according to references [30 (link),31 (link)]. Stained 2-DE gels were scanned using an ImageScanner III (GE Healthcare) and analyzed by PDQuest 2-D Analysis Software (Bio-Rad). Protein spots of interest were cut from the gels and trypsin digested in-gel, as described, and identified by MALDI-TOF/TOF tandem MS using an AB SCIEX 5800 MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometer (AB SCIEX, USA). MS data were analyzed using the MASCOT 2.1.0 program (Matrix Science, MA), as described [30 (link),31 (link),32 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
